Episode details

Available for 3 days
Half an hour of back to back classical music infused with seasonal flavours to help wind down at the end of a busy day. Sit back and listen to Bach's Advent cantata Wachet auf, a Christmas lullaby from Herbert Howells, musical snowy landscapes from William Alwyn, Danny Elfman and Debussy, and festive brass from John Rutter. All that and a passing planet drifting to music by Joby Talbot, and a dancing sugarplum fairy. Producer: Helen Garrison To listen on most smart speakers just say “ask BBC Sounds to play Classical Mixtape”.
